CARE Program
Provides an intensive school-based service that
helps students move to less intensive levels of
behavioral health intervention while continuing to
receive educational services that will help them
achieve academically. The program is for students
who are diagnosed as mentally ill or emotionally
disturbed and can not function in a regular education
setting. The program provides both mental health
and education services and works with each student’s
school, family and community. Educational and
treatment services are provided in the school setting
however, clinical staff also provide treatment and
case management services in each student’s home
and community.
Center for Alcohol and Substance Abuse - Striving Together to Achieve Rewarding Tomorrows (CASA Start)
Provides support to youth at risk for substance
abuse, truancy and delinquency during middle school
years. Interventions are community driven and include
adult mentorship, community policing, after school
and summer programs, academic support, juvenile
justice, and case management. The goal is to create
a network of support for middle school students that
will increase positive connection to school, home and
community and reduce risk factors.
Consultation and Education
Provided through "CommunityLink", a shortterm,
school-based and community-based case management
resource for children who need additional
supports to achieve success in school. Consultation
and Education Specialists, "C&Es", work with
children, families and school staff to support positive
educational and behavioral outcomes. Students are
referred to the C&E directly through their school
support process. The C&E and the family work
together with the classroom teacher to develop and
implement a classroom behavioral plan. The C&E
works with the family and the student to provide
information and referrals to community resources,
help the family obtain a wide variety of community
services and act as advocates when working with
difficult systems. CommunityLink provides workshops
for school staff as well as crisis intervention
and triage in select schools.
Family and School Consultant
Provides consultation to schools around
managing students and classes with difficult
behaviors. Trained specialists provide assessment
and on-going services to elementary
school-aged children who exhibit problematic
behavior in school. The goal is to stabilize each
student’s behavior and enhance the strategies
schools have available for maintaining difficult
students in regular education settings.
Family and School Together
Family and School Together, "FAST", is a
nationally acclaimed family-building program
designed to increase self-esteem and improve
school performance of elementary school
children by supporting the natural strength of
the family unit. Trained facilitators provide the
FAST curriculum to groups of families at local
schools once a week for eight weeks. The goal
is for families and schools to work together to
reduce the risk for alcohol and other drug abuse,
school failure, and juvenile delinquency.
High School Support Program
Provides targeted support for high school students
at risk of dropping out and of academic failure.
This unique student support model provides flexible
supports geared to meet each school's and students'
needs. An experienced Masters Level Clinician
provides a range of services in the school setting
including: On-site individual assessment, referral,
and case management; Collaboration with 9th grade
counselor(s) to provide targeted group support for 9th
graders with histories of school failure; Classroom
consultation; Informal "drop-in" hours for academic
problem solving; Support with resource coordination;
and Support with Comprehensive Student Assistance
Process (CSAP) coordination. The goal of the
program is to keep high school students in school
and on track to successful graduation.
Student Assistance Program
Provides early identification of and
interventions for students who are at-risk
for mental health and/or drug and alcohol
involvement. Provided in elementary,
middle and high schools, students are
identified through each school’s Student
Assistance Team. Trained specialists work
with the individual students, their families
and their school staff in the school setting.
Groups are provided and group topics are
selected according the needs of the student
population. Groups may include grief and
loss, substance abuse, family change, anger
management, decision making, or sexuality.
The goal is to remove psychosocial barriers
to learning.
